Fun Coin Purses Made From Old Gloves

Tags:

Turn any odd, or old, unwanted wool mittens or gloves into these fun glove purses for children. Depending on the color of the glove, you could make a white snowman, a brown reindeer or a red Santa Claus bag. You could also fill the inside of the glove with some stuffing, sew up the cuff, add button features and attach a metal key ring hoop to turn it into a monster key ring.

Materials Needed:

unwanted or odd gloves

cotton thread and needle or sewing machine (optional)

scissors

small zipper

pins

recycled buttons or beads

odd scraps of felt, wool, ribbon or fabric

Step 1

Turn the glove inside out and sew along the bottom of each finger and the thumb (retain the pointer finger and pinkie finger if you want to create ears).
